A trained institutional quality and regulatory assessor — active NAAC accreditation examiner, NIRF coordinator, NABH-trained administrator, and Dental Council of India inspector — who contributed to Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals' NAAC accreditation cycle in June 2022, which secured an A++ grade, and led digitisation of the Oral Pathology department at Saveetha Dental College and the Pharmacy and Outpatient Department at Saveetha Medical College. Combines this with sitting membership on the Academic Council, Finance Committee, and Executive Council. Holds board and editorial leadership positions with Crossref, MedKnow, Springer-Nature, and Wiley, and served as Editorial Manager at MM Publishers overseeing sixteen dental specialty journals.
Founding President of the Darshan Foundation, Haryana, a registered public-health foundation for oral disease outreach.
